This approach would reduce net carbon dioxide emission by about 50% if it were used on all fossil fuel power plants. Most coal and natural gas power plants have been predicted to be economically retrofittable with carbon dioxide scrubbers for carbon capture to recycle flue exhaust or for carbon sequestration.
You may have heard the term clean coal before, and it has probably led to a debate as to whether or not it is even possible. Up until now, the debate has been rather theoretical, but Duke Energy ...
